Phase3 Telecom, West Africa’s largest independent fibre optic infrastructure and telecommunications services provider said it is very proud of the tremendous achievements the company keeps recording in its commitment to ensuring the sustainable development of Africa.
The company is exactly 11 years old today (October 29) having pioneered optic fiber services using power lines , began operations in October 2003 and has since been at the heart of providing backbone and broadband services that drive Nigeria’s telecommunication revolution.
A few years after it commenced service, Phase 3 Telecom extended its reach beyond Nigeria when it executed a partnership agreement with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to facilitate the development of telecom infrastructure across members’ countries whereby telecom infrastructure on power line is currently being deployed across the region.
Mr. Stanley Jegede, chief executive officer stated that the Phase3 family is very proud of the tremendous achievements the company keeps recording in its commitment to ensuring the sustainable development of Africa through the provision of the most reliable IP and telecommunications services to deliver the most remarkable level of service excellence in the telecoms industry within 11 years of its establishment; modest efforts which have resulted in overwhelming local and international recognitions for the company year on year and 2014 is not an exception in this regard.
He said that “not without its challenges, Phase3’s key focus has always been to ensure that West Africa enjoy high capacity access to the global knowledge grid via reliable, high-speed and affordable broadband connectivity which is evident in the company’s just concluded network upgrade to offer seamless communications solutions that allows its clients all over West Africa, to interconnect their operations in multiple locations over a dedicated link”. He added that the team is very grateful to clients, whose continued trust in the Phase3 brand as the choice service provider to deliver their connectivity needs, has resulted in consistent successes every year.
Jegede concluded by stating that 11 years of operations has been a lesson in positivity for Phase3 and it reaffirms the team’s dedication to the task in hand, greater innovation and eagerness to deliver to all West Africans the tools they need for further and sustainable economic progress.
Phase3 is undeniably one of the foremost indigenous telecom service providers championing the drive to re-define Nigeria’s telecommunications landscape and have assisted in bringing the nation to its current position as a clear leader in Africa’s telecommunications sector.
It will be recalled that since its roll out, Phase3Telecom has become the network of choice for operators and other firms in the communications industry on account of its reliability and customer support.
The company has also been at the centre of major government infrastructure development projects and national broadband initiatives. Phase3 Telecom also introduced and partnered many leading local and international firms in delivering and promoting a unique Open Access Model for improved broadband delivery in West Africa.
